THIS EVENT HAS ENDED
Armed with loss, heartbreak and a voice that cries for help, multitalented French enchantress Soko is the kind of rebel who gives out kisses instead of black eyes, who steals hearts instead of wallets, and gets trashed on tea instead of liquor. However, she won’t hesitate to wreak havoc and cartwheel on stage whenever she can, alternating between playing reverbed-out electric guitar, bass, keyboard, and drums and singing her heart out with total abandon.

Once a soft-spoken singer-songwriter, Soko’s music quickly caught up with her untamable persona. Three years after her debut album “I Thought I Was An Alien,” she has revamped her once innocent yet morbid folk into an insolent follow-up record, “My Dreams Dictate My Reality,” due March 2015. Produced by the legendary Ross Robinson (who also produced her favorite band, The Cure) the album features the hypnotic duet “Lovetrap” with friend and lo-fi wizard Ariel Pink.

After seven months of fine-tuning in Robinson’s home studio in Venice Beach, Soko’s essence was distilled into a potion of dreamy 80’s goth-inspired lullabies and a touch of California sun. The main ingredient, her unapologetic openness, alchemizes each track into the most disarmingly honest lyrics of all time.

The free-spirited energy of her live shows parallel her romantic life, where she loves regardless of gender or social convention, existing purely in the moment. At her show in New York earlier this fall, while performing a new track “Who Wears The Pants,” the gay rights anthem she jokingly refers to as “the most lesbian song I ever wrote,” she screams “EVERYBODY TAKE YOUR SHIRT OFF,” and dances topless in striped suspenders and creepers, with a live rat on her shoulder.
